Sanctuary Runners Limerick is aiming to get Irish people running in solidarity with those living in Direct Provision.

The group is meeting twice a week, on Monday evenings in the U.L. East Gate car park at 7:30, and on Saturday afternoons at the pitch in Mary I at 1:45. They are putting out a call for any second-hand/spare running gear that’s in good condition.

There will be a collection this Saturday, February 23rd at the pitch in Mary I at 1:45. The drop-off point will be to Gill at the pitch in Mary Immaculate College.

Limerick AC athletes recently raised €1320 for the homeless with their ‘35 Bridges of Limerick Run’. The event was held on Saturday December 15th (during Storm Deirdre!). The funds were transferred to the Mid-West Simon Community on 18th January.

All involved we would like to sincerely thank all those who donated and supported them during the run. They plan to make this event an annual one, more details in the Autumn!
